Jungle Cruise Retires Complimentary “Safari Sack” Ziploc Bags—Skippers Blame the Crocodiles
Bad news, adventurers! If you were hoping to grab a free “Safari Sack” Ziploc bag before setting sail on the world-famous Jungle Cruise, you might want to pack your own waterproof pouch instead. The complimentary bags, which have been available since 2022, are no longer being offered to guests at Magic Kingdom.

Introduced when Ziploc became a sponsor of the attraction, these cleverly themed bags were printed to resemble a rugged brown canvas sack—complete with pun-filled descriptions worthy of a Jungle Cruise skipper. Guests could stash their valuables inside while braving the very mild waters of this classic attraction. Despite the ride’s reputation for being more “pun-heavy” than “splash-heavy,” the sacks became a quirky souvenir for fans of Disney’s signature dad-joke-filled voyage.
For those unfamiliar, the bag’s hilarious descriptions included gems like:
“The survival sack that does it all!” “Now featuring the exclusive Skipper Zipper!” “Mostly backside-of-water resistant!”
And our personal favorite:
“Wild animal proof”* (With a small disclaimer excluding basically every animal in the jungle—including butterflies.)

Though the Safari Sack has sailed into the mist, guests looking for a splash-proof option at Magic Kingdom do have another choice—for a price. A branded wet bag is now available for purchase at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, the upcoming ride replacing Splash Mountain. While it won’t come with a Skipper Zipper (or a free price tag), it’ll still help keep your essentials dry for when the bayou gets a bit too bumpy.
So, what’s the official reason for the Jungle Cruise bag’s disappearance? The skippers have a few theories. Some blame the crocodiles, others say it was the work of mischievous monkeys. But most agree: it was probably just another cost-cutting adventure from the folks back at headquarters.
For now, just remember—if you hear a skipper say, “You might get wet!”—they probably mean from your own tears of laughter. Happy cruising!
